Aéroplan est un programme de fidélité où les membres accumulent des milles de récompense à l’achat de produits chez les partenaires de la coalition (Air Canada, Star Alliance, Banque TD, Banque CIBC, Banque Amex, Esso, Home Hardware, Fairmount, Avis, Toyota, etc.). Les milles accumulés peuvent ensuite être échangés contre des récompenses (billets d’avion, certificat cadeau, […]

L’internet des objets (IoT) s’agit de la communication autonome des objets physiques dans l’infrastructure internet, grâce à l’intégration des technologies d’identification et capteurs connectés et intégrés par les technologies d’information et de la communication. Lesdites technologies ont du potentiel pour aider les sociétés de services aux consommateurs à augmenter l’efficacité de leurs activités de marketing, […]

Les conditions météorologiques influencent les processus internes et externes responsables de la variabilité spatio-temporelle des propriétés du manteau neigeux. Une étude approfondie des conditions micrométéorologiques sur les divers secteurs d’opération d’Avalanche Québec est nécessaire pour maintenir la fiabilité des prévisions et soutenir le développement d’outil technologique d’analyse et de détection des couches faibles. La modélisation […]

Globally and across Canada cities are challenged in providing sustainable water, and sanitation services are in the face of increasing water demand due to increasing life quality, decreasing water availability, more stringent water quality goals. Sustainable solutions considering energy and nutrient recovery are becoming an urgent demand. One option that improves upon economic, environmental and […]

The proposed research is aimed at both understanding and improving the flotation equipment design through the development and application of comprehensive multiphysics platform, which has the potential to create more accurate, fundamental basis for modeling, optimization, and scale-up of industrial flotation processes, based on physics rather than empirics and intuition. The objective of this research […]

Avalanche Canada and Park Canada publish avalanche bulletins daily to provide backcountry users with information on avalanche hazard. Since 2010, Canadian bulletins follow the recently developed conceptual model of avalanche hazard (CMAH), which describes the key components of avalanche hazard and how to combine them into an overall assessment. However, the CMAH does not provide […]

This research project will work with Canadian start-up 6Sensmatic in two areas: building a digital marketing platform and exploring strategic opportunities related to the blockchain; a digital ledger technology that underpins cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. First, the intern will help 6Sensmatic design, develop, prototype and analyze a novel digital marketing platform that will connect firms […]

The wastewater from laundries (greywater) is contaminated by several products and requires specific treatment to remove the various contaminants that are hazardous to the environment. Therefore, appropriate treatment system must be applied in order to reuse wastewater and minimize its release into the nature. The objective of this project is to develop a process for […]

A hedge is an investment position intended to offset potential losses, or in our case to pay off potential liabilities. Interest rates play an important role in hedging strategies and risk management for variable annuities and other long-term products. Financial institutions have an urgent need for practical and affordable dynamic hedging strategies. We propose a […]

Modelling the movement of water through a hydropower station is an important tool for understanding this very complex behaviour, where water is pushed and pulled through long tunnels and spinning turbines, resulting in a vast range of pressures and speeds. There are generally two types of models: 1-dimensional (1D) models, which are simple and cost-effective, […]

Les plans d’expérience (PE) sont très importants pour améliorer le contrôle de la ligne de production parce qu’ils aident à décider quel facteur sont les plus influents pour obtenir le résultat finales par rapport les critères de souhaité. Cependant, les PE actuel ne sont pas capables d’accepter de nouvelles données d’entrée sans obliger le chercheur […]

SHAPE will work alongside an initiative called Ever Active Schools, who is involved with promoting and supporting healthy and active school communities through a comprehensive school approach. One of the projects SHAPE and Ever Active Schools is working on is a professional mentoring opportunity named Physical Literacy in Residence that is being implemented in 72 […]
